80 Funny Questions to Ask Your Partner - The ones that start arguments about kitchen appliances

Deep questions have their place, but they are hard work on a Tuesday. Sometimes you want the version that makes your partner snort into their drink and then argue with you for ten minutes about which kitchen appliance you are.

Silly questions also sneak past the usual defences. People who go quiet when asked about their feelings will cheerfully tell you exactly how long you would survive a zombie apocalypse, and that answer still tells you something.

Here are 80 funny questions to ask your partner, from would-you-rathers and hypotheticals to the petty ones about dishwashers and camera rolls. Swipe through and copy one for a long drive, a slow dinner or a queue you cannot escape.

Question 80 of 80

Where These Work Best

Long car journeys, waiting rooms and the dead part of an evening are where these earn their keep. They also work surprisingly well after a minor disagreement, once both of you have calmed down but neither wants to reopen the subject.

One warning: a few of these invite genuine honesty about habits and annoyances. If you ask what you are never allowed to be in charge of again, be ready for a real answer, and take it in the spirit the question was asked.
